Wanted to DM a game for a friend so looking for three other party members to eventually play some other campaigns. We'll be using Beyond for pretty much everything. Got most of the books for character creation but I'm sure there are homebrewed versions made exactly so feel free to look those up if need be.
You will be starting at lv 1 so keep that in mind when applying with characters. We will be rolling for stats. 4d6 drop lowest. Score must total at least 72 with one score being a 15 or higher. If these requirements are not met, you keep rolling until they are. I don't have a level cap per say and will see how this goes.
Most 2024 stuff will be used but if you have a subclass that wasn't updated, that is fine. Your stats and starting feat also wont be based on your background but chosen as you like. One of the main changes I don't like. Please apply as the application indicates below. Post an actual character and don't just say "whatever works for the party" or "I got some ideas" and not actually post anything. Try for 1 paragraph for a backstory. Maybe two tops.
Here are some character background and hooks from the book to help with character creation. Don't need ot pick these specifically.
The frontier town of Phandalin is resilient, but organized religious resources are scarce. Your temple in Neverwinter sent you to Phandalin to pray and offer communion with like-minded faithful.
You’ve planned your latest get-rich-quick scheme. The townspeople of Phandalin have never heard of what you’re selling, and you hope to establish a customer base.
You’re wanted for crimes in Neverwinter, and perhaps you’re exiled from the city. Phandalin is a small bastion of civilization where you can lie low and no one will be the wiser.
You’ve spent time in Neverwinter and love performing for audiences, but you need new experiences from which to draw inspiration for your art. Traveling to Phandalin will provide new material for your work, and its watering holes promise eager crowds.
You may have humble origins, but you made your name as a hero in the wilds outside Neverwinter. You need new adventures, so you’ve set off for the frontier of Phandalin.
You learned a useful trade in Neverwinter, but the city is home to too many artisans with that skill. Now, you’re heading to Phandalin, where you hope to start a lucrative business.
You’ve spent a lot of time in the wilds outside Neverwinter, but you’ve always kept a home in the city. You’ve decided to move somewhere rural, and Phandalin seems like the perfect place.
Your family is based in Neverwinter but owns property throughout the Sword Coast region. You recently inherited a cottage in Phandalin and must inspect the place before you decide to keep or sell it.
You spent your youth with a guardian who lived a simple life in the wilds outside Phandalin, but later you moved to the city. Now an adult, you’ve decided to return to the area where you feel most at home.
In the academic halls of Neverwinter, you studied the region’s historical alliance between Phandalin and its neighbors. The fate of the lost mine of Phandelver has always fascinated you, so you’re traveling to Phandalin to discover whether any locals know rumors about its fate.
You are a member of the Neverwinter Guard, and you suffered a terrible injury in the line of duty. You healed, but you’re not ready to return to work yet. Until you are, you’re taking easy jobs protecting merchant wagons headed to Phandalin.
Meet Me in Phandalin. You’re in the city of Neverwinter when your dwarf patron and friend, Gundren Rockseeker, hires you to escort a wagon to Phandalin. Gundren has gone ahead with a warrior, Sildar Hallwinter, to attend to business in the town while you follow with the supplies. You will be paid 10 gp each by the owner of Barthen’s Provisions in Phandalin when you deliver the wagon safely to that trading post.
Friend of the Harpers. You’ve spent much of your life in awe of the Harpers, a secretive organization dedicated to promoting good and preserving history. You’ve always wanted to join, but you’ve struggled to gain the group’s attention. You’re headed to Phandalin, where you hope your good deeds will gain the Harpers’ notice.
Gauntlet Trainee. You have pledged yourself to the Order of the Gauntlet, a devout and vigilant group that seeks to protect others from evildoers. Before you become a full-fledged member, you’ve decided to meet your hero, a retired adventurer named Daran Edermath, who was part of the order and has thwarted many local threats. Daran lives in Phandalin in a cottage beside an apple orchard. You plan to visit him and drink in his wisdom before joining the order yourself.

Bio: His Drow house lost their station nearly a century ago and the remnants of house Olboldra either attached themselves to other Drow houses in the Underdark or fles to a surface world that at best was suspicious of Drow. Houndaer found himself in Waterdeep where he fell in with a group of Drow mercenaries known as the Bregan D'erthe which afforded him some safety along with getting to see some of this surface world he now called home. This organization, while mostly operating discreetly, was also actively trying to improve the lot of surface Drow. To that end, the leader of the mercenary company owed some favor to Gundren who threw his weight around as a respected merchant to the benefit of the Bregan D'aerthe.

Race/subrace: Human
Class/subclass: Warlock (Pact of the Genie)
Bio: When my mom was pregnant with me she was in an accident and almost lost me. But during the events that caused the accident she saved the life of a Genie. So in return the Genie blessed her and the baby preventing its death.
From birth Tim has always felt different he has made it his life’s goal to find out why, (Unaware of what happens when his mom was pregnant with him). Over the last couple years he has been hearing a voice in his head. At first he feared he was going insane but slowly he got used to it and realized this voice whoever it was has been granting him power. All the voice will tell him about itself and why it is contacting him is that it owes his family a debt that is still not paid.
As the youngest son of an aristocrat family, Julius never got any attention from his parents, unlike his brother’s and sisters who got all of their attention. Most of the time, he was being taken care of by the maids, butler’s and bodyguards, at one point he started see them as his real family.
One day on his 18th birthday that his parents refuse to attend to, he was opening presents sent by his parents and siblings. A bunch of really expensive items that he didn’t even want, at one point Julius started regifting his presents to the people who actually take care of him. This birthday in particular is a day he will remember till the day he dies, all of the maid’s, butler’s, and bodyguard’s all decided to gift him book, “wizard’s of the Grand Tower”. That book inspired Julius to learn magic and help people. Two years later, left home with spell book in hand and went off into the world to help people in need.

Bio: Voice of Winter, known as Winter, is a Tabaxi exiled from the nomadic Gathering Dunes clan after a mysterious magical encounter left him with wild, uncontrollable powers. As a child, his magic erupted in devastating outbursts, earning fear and, ultimately, banishment. Surviving alone in the desert, he wandered in search of understanding, playing music in taverns for coin and scouring towns for answers.
Now, his travels have brought him to Phandalin. Whispers of ancient times where magical forces once banded together in this very town being the guiding compass. Winter trudges along hoping to finally gain some understanding of this seemingly curse that hath befallen him.
